What is the maximum length for a Parallam beam that can be ordered?

Parallam beams, which are engineered wood products made from laminated veneer lumber, come in various lengths depending on the manufacturer's specifications and capabilities. A maximum length of 60 feet for Parallam beams is commonly cited within industry standards and practices. This length allows for practical applications in construction while providing sufficient structural integrity and performance for larger spans.

In projects where longer spans are required, utilizing a combination of Parallam beams or considering other types of beams may be necessary to meet specific design requirements. Lengths beyond this limit could compromise structural performance or may not be readily available due to manufacturing constraints. Understanding these limitations is crucial for engineers, designers, and carpenters when planning structural components in building projects.
